Today, the power outage will not affect populated areas and facilities in a 20-kilometer zone from the border of Russia, Belarus and the 20-kilometer front-line zone.
Now the lights will not be turned off in populated areas in a 20-kilometer zone near the border of Russia and Belarus, as well as near the front line. Prime Minister Denis Shmygal announced this at a government meeting on Thursday, July 18.
The Cabinet of Ministers guarantees priority power supply to critical facilities and communities in these zones.
Due to Russian attacks and abnormal heat, the country is facing a constant lack of energy capacity, forcing NEC Ukrenergo to introduce restrictions for consumers. However, the government is committed to fair distribution.
“Today we are adding a rule that power outages will not affect settlements and facilities in a 20-kilometer zone from the border of Russia, Belarus and in the 20-kilometer front-line zone,” Shmygal said.
The Cabinet of Ministers will also improve the algorithm, which will ensure a consistent sequence and duration of power outages to minimize inconvenience for the population.
Shmygal recently said that the situation in Ukraine’s energy sector remains very difficult. But the duration of the outages will decrease from 20th July.
We remind you that “blackout-free days” have been canceled in Ukraine. The reason for the decision is a significant lack of capacity in the energy system and increased consumption due to heat.
It was previously reported that July will be the most difficult period for the Ukrainian energy system. It is at this time that scheduled maintenance is carried out on nuclear power plants.
